Backcountry Skiing, Backcountry Snowboarding / Haute-Savoie

Since 1993 Snowlegend has offered snowboard, ski and telemark classes in La Meije-La Grave. Don't try to compare this resort to any other, it's in a class of its own. In remote corner of the Hautes Alpes Oisans, it is the largest mountain group in the Alps. La Meije may not be the highest peak, but it has one of the longest vertical drops in the world!  Two lifts take you up to 3650 meters from where the number of possible descents makes La Grave probably the largest off-piste site in Europe!

Chamonix is one of the most popular domiciles of the so-called „Ski-Bums“ who are enthusiastic skiers working all summer long in order to completely give in to their passion in winter. Apart from spectacular glaciers, steep couloirs and impressive northern scarps are to be found around the famous mountaineering village at the foot of the Mont Blanc. During our freeride week you will experience a varied mixture ranging from „off-piste“-descents with up to 5000 feet difference in altitude.

While the Haute Route has been on every adventurer’s life list for more than a century, this famed route from Chamonix to Zermatt remains a serious endeavor even today. EpicQuest has bridged the gap, allowing the discerning skier to have their powder and eat it too. Combining heli-skiing with the classic Haute Route itinerary, guests spend a week moving from Courmayeur, Italy, to Chamonix, France, to Verbier and then Zermatt, Switzerland.

Mont Blanc, with its highest peaks, its largest glaciers and some of the wildest montain scenery, is known to be one of the best Freeride Spots of the Alps. In 6 unforgettable skidays we will guide you through the best runs in the legendary area, from Vallon de Arp all the way to Col de Tour!

The planet’s best Freeride skiers and snowboarders will take part in the Freeride World Tour 2012 in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc on the January 21 st 2012.
